    Well, with better quality comes more responsibility, right? I wont be judging you anymore, I know the Sony is a great Ready-made camera which is easier to work with. But theres also a big amount of us with less money but still want incredible quality and dont mind the workflow being that much harder. Thanks !

    hi Crusty. the red …
    hi Crusty. the red one is a viable tool for film/television production. the price point is somewhat misleading, as $17k won’t get you a complete unit. after the appropriate accessories, you’ll end up spending $30k. then you’ll need someone who can rangle the raw data, plus all the additional hard drive space necessary to work with it.

    also, tough to shoot handheld. it is not a news camera.

    the PDW-700 is perfect for freelance and news camera ops who need HD, and a file-based workflow.

    Jesse you are right …
    Jesse you are right. Red Scarlet isnt good yet if u are a proffesional and need to make a living at the moment cus Red Scarlet is not out yet. So, Red Scarlet VS this camera u win, but why not buy the Red One instead then? Better that this Sony and I believe its alot cheaper. And its out! Or what do u think mate?

    yes, yes. just wait. and wait. and wait. and wait.

    good luck, if you’re a professional, and need to make a living in the mean time. lol

    you ‘can’ delete files and re-use the disc, but you shouldn’t really.
    it’s only $38 per 23GB disc, which holds between 45 min and 2 hours, depending on your data rate

    Great Video. Can you delete the footage on the disc after it’s transfer to a harddrive and ready to edit on Final Cut Pro? Or is the disc a write once? How many different storage capacity’s are there?
    And how many minutes for 1 GB.

    With the purchase of a PDW-700 XDCAM HD422 camcorder between April 1, 2008 and March 31,
    2009, an end user who also purchases the CBKZ-FC02 PDW-700 24P board when it becomes
    available will be eligible to receive a $1,500 mail in end user rebate on it

    yes, i am sure about the 24p. June 2009. sony will offer a special rebate on the upgrade board… details to follow. at this time, i do not believe over/undercrank is a planned feature.

    You DO NOT want to put an SD lens on that camera. If you test it out, you’ll definitely see the difference. But it’s a fine ENG camera, if only the XDCAM discs were archival by themselves. It would save video librarians a lot of time if they didn’t have to dub everything to hard drive AND tape :/
